Hi all,
I completed my bachelor's in Electrical and electronics engineering and worked in a completely different field for 2 years but now I would like to do my masters in electrical engineering and would really love to do that in a very good school in the US.Before I was doubting myself and thought I would never get a good school and hence did not even bother to try.But at the same time I could not stand not trying and I have now decided I should give my 100 percent and try and even if I fail I would have the satisfaction of having tried.
I have good gpa and I'm confident of getting a good score in GRE But I have no relevant experience or any publications .what can I do to better my chances of getting admitted.My plan is to try for internships and gain 1 or 2 years of experience.Is working in any one particular field (like signals and systems or control systems) enough ?would it count as relevant experience for masters in electrical engineering?or do I need more research experience in different subjects I studied in my undergraduation?I am 24 now and by the time I prepare myself and apply I would be 26.would it be too late?
These are some of the questions that's been bugging me for a long time and thought I would post somewhere to get some advice/suggestions.
Thanks
